Just enough time before the bird moved away...

that is a great capture! I love the textures, but something makes me want to drop the exposure a bit and make that swan darker

Thank you for the comment. Do you think this is better?

I prefer the second, but I would be inclined to make blacks even blacker.

Very pretty image and I agree, it's still a half stop over IMO. I'd push it as dark as possible until it starts to lose the textural definition.

This 2nd version is definitely better than the first, and i will also vote to experiment with going darker.

Any blacker and you will not see it.

I can only speak for my own taste, but IMO the final version is brilliant.

I have to concur - last version is the best - the composition was always excellent

Thank you for your feedback and encouragement, guys.

The last version is de-lovely.

Well done; you've kept the blacks black, without losing them in the blacks. That is not an easy task.
